ENGLAND.

APPARATUS FOR SPINNlNG AND DOUBLING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 742,554, dated October 27, 1903.

Application led October 4, 1902.

T0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS AsHwoR'rH, a subject of the King of Great Britain and IIreland, residing at Lynwood, Urrnston, near Manchester, in the county of Lancaster, En gland, have invented new and useful Improvements in Apparatus for Spinning and Doubling Cotton and other Fibrous Substances, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements on the subject-matter Aof a prior patent for the United States of America granted to me,bear ing date October 25, 1898, No. 613,106; and the objects of the presentinvention are, first, to prevent the lubricating-oil from rising up between the Hier-tube and Ithe spindle, so as to reach the inside of the cup,and thus soil the` nose of the cop, and, secondly, to prevent the oil in the oil-cup from being thrown out by centrifugal force between the top of the oil-cup and the bottom of the wharve of the flier; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of my said invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to'make and use the same, reference being'had to the accompanying sheet of drawings, and to the gures and letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

Figure l on the drawings is an elevation,and Fig. 2 a partial vertical section, of so much of the spindle and its adj uncts 'of a spinning or doubling frame as is necessary t0 illustrate my invention. Figs. 3 and 4 are detached ele vation and plan views ofv a certain portion thereof, hereinafter more particularly referred to. Y Y

a is the spindle, b the cup-shaped flier, .with its wharve c, and d is the bolster,made with an oil-cup e and an inner tube f and fixed in the railj, so that the spindle will freelyrevolve in the tube f, which is fast in the bolster, and the whirl will lbe rotated on the outside For effecting the iirst object I make the up- Serial No. 125,892. (No model per end of the inner tube f of the bolster d, on which the cup-shaped flier b revolves, of a conical shape on the outside, as shown at fx on Eig. 2, the top of the cone being rather below the inside of the cup b, and as it is a well# known fact that oil will not rise up the outside of a cone this arrangement entirely prevents the oil from ascending into the cup b and soiling the nose of the cop, and for effecting the second object lplace inside the oil-cup e of the bolster d and resting on the bottom thereof a thin metal shield h (see also detached views 3 and 4:) of such a diameter as to fit loosely into the cup. The upper'part of this shield is made to curve inward, so as 'to embrace the lower lloess of the flier-wharve c just below the bottom of the latter, and thus prevent the oil in the cup e from being thrown out by centrifugal force between the top of the cup e and the bottom of the wharve c.

I claim as my invention- 1. A rotating cup-shaped iier, a wharve at the lower end of the iier, a spindle passing freely through them, and a bolster-tube f between the rotating dier and spindle, and having a conical upper end terminating at the lower end of the cup-shaped flier, substantially as described. Y

` 2.VA A cup-shaped flier, a wharve at the lower end of the iiier, a spindle passing freely through them, and a bolster-tube f between the flier and spindle, in combination with an oil-cup in which the flier rests, a boss on the lower side of the wharve rotating within said oil-cup and a circular metal shield within the oil-cup embracing the boss on the wharve, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof l have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

THOMAS ASHWORTH.
